Question: What are my best options for packaging foods to sell to health food stores? I am starting my own business selling prepared foods to health food stores. A number of the things that I want to sell are going to need to be packaged in sealed plastic bags (e.g. flax crackers, etc.). In order to do this, do I need to buy my own sealer as well as the bags? Can I just buy bags with that are already resealable? Can anyone suggest a good source to buy these products from?

Answer: Doubt very much if your going to be able to sell to a store. There is laws on how the food has to be and also how it is to be packaged and the kind of label it must have on it. Most stores have orders sent to them from a factory

Question: Anyone know where to find good health food stores in Singapore? I need a place to buy organic cocoa butter, oils, and other organic, natural products. So far all the places I have been to that call themselves health food stores are supplement shops (pills and crap). Thanks.

Answer: I am also into organic food. There are so many stores in Singapore. I don't know which area u are at. So I would suggest NTUC. As there are NTUC everywhere. I would purchase my rice milk, dry apple snacks,buckwheat or some nuts.(all organic) at some shops. If am at NTUC, I will buy it there. There is a shop whereby I got the best Coconut oil and Probiotic juice in Singapore. The address is at Block 532 Ang Mo Kio Ave 10. The shop name is Faith Hope Agape. It is actually a alternative clinic. The lady helped my mum live another 10 years as my mum got cancer. They are into homeopathy and chinese medical. I got a lot of good products that helped my asthma too. but the thing is I need to make appointment as they are seldom in opened as a lot of their customers love home visit. Of cos charge more. At times I feel lazy to go down, I will ask for delivery from them too. Very nice kind lady. Perhaps u can look for them and next time u don't need to go shop for your stuffs. Just call for delivery. Hee.... easier for u cos I also don't like people to introduce me tons of pills.

Answer: The one I like going to has a peanut butter making machine....you buy the nuts..and then put it in the machine and make peanut butter...thats what I do :D Besides that, I just get all my other healthy stuff from my local grocery store....they've got a large organic section. It does feel awesome when you look at the ingrediants in a bag of frozen french fries and see "Ingredients: potatoes, salt." ....instead of like 1000000 things. I feel much healthier too when I eat stuff like that :) (even if salt is bad for you..but..eh, you get my point)

Question: Can I get health food at a regular grocery store for less than at a health food store? where? I am a total health nut, but being a health nut, means that I want the best quality I can get that doesn't have all those dyes, high fructose corn syrup, growth hormones, etc... But the problem is, is that health food stores can go way out of bugget for me. Where are some cheaper places for me to get good, healthy food for less?

Answer: I've seen some of the Red Mill products at Kroger's. Here in the mid-Louisiana area, (Lafayette, La) we have Vitamin Plus and some other scattered locations. Nice prices. I believe one of the reasons they have reasonable prices is because (1) they don't accept credit cards and pass that savings (no credit card trasaction fees) onto the customers (2) they don't have a scanning system at the register. Note - NOT all foods at the health food store is healthy for you either.

Question: What is the best all natural immune system booster from a health food store? I was just really sick and had to be on antibiotics, so once I'm off them and better I'd like to go to the health food store and get things to kind of fix myself up, since taking any kind of "meds" makes me uncomfortable. Are Probiotics or any kind of protein drinks, etc any good? Thanks!

Answer: Some of the most popular natural products for boosting the immune system are Colostrum, Mushrooms (Maitake, Shiitake, and Reishi), IP-6 (Inositol Hexaphosphate), Beta Glucans, Elderberry, Echinacea (should be taken short-term only), and any antioxidants. As far as Probiotics, that's the beneficial bacteria that lives in your intestinal tract. If you are taking antibiotics for a short time, you should get some good Probiotics to take after the antibiotics are completely finished. If you take them together, the antibiotics will kill the Probiotics before they can be beneficial and it might lessen the potency or effect of the antibiotics... but you'll need the Probiotics to replenish your intestinal flora after the antibiotics have killed them all off. Protein powders are just protein (like a hamburger)... they don't directly impact your immune system at all. Good luck!

Question: What is a really good allergy/cold medicine found in a health food store? My boyfriend has been suffering from serious nasal congestion and a dry cough for about a month.

Question: Is raw meat from an average health food store irradiated? Hi, I would like to know if raw, organic meat from a health food store is irradiated as I recently have learned that it sometimes is. Can you give me a reliable source? Thanks.

Answer: Certified organic meat should never be irradiated as that would be against the USDA regulations that expressly ban irradiation of organic meats (and all other organic foods). Not certified organic meat not bought direct from the farmer likely is irradiated To be really safe buy your meats direct from the farmer http://www.localharvest.org http://www.eatwild.org more information on irradiation in meats and organic foods. http://www.organicconsumers.org http://www.acresusa.com check out the book Zapped by Winona Hauter which is all about this subject. http://www.fwwatch.org/blog/topics/Zapped
